Mo Shigui led the Viva Nuclei elite clearers back to Viva Nuclei's stronghold.
In the stronghold, Manager Yin moved a wooden table to the center of the stronghold … Although there weren't many changes to the stronghold, Mo Shigui could still sense that there were a bunch of NPCs inside the stronghold.
"You're back?" Manager Yin seemed to be waiting for Mo Shigui to come back.
Mo Shigui glanced at the several figures beside the wooden table. Jiang Qiao was already a frequent visitor of Viva Nuclei, so it wasn't surprising that he was here. What surprised Mo Shigui was … Sovereign Descent's Gentleman Qi was also here.
Zhao Mingwei hadn't come online yet. He was still recovering in the hospital. According to the doctor, he wouldn't be able to leave the hospital for at least five or six days.
"What happened?"
Mo Shigui knew that Manager Yin wasn't the kind of boss who liked to cause trouble. There must be a reason why he sent Viva Nuclei's main players to take care of the newcomers.
"I posted a video in the guild group chat. You guys take a look," Manager Yin said directly.
Mo Shigui opened Viva Nuclei's core guild group chat. There were only 647 members in this group, and they were the core members of Viva Nuclei. Whether it was in the game or in real life, it was equivalent to a guild's internal group chat.
Currently, this internal group chat was in a muted state. Only Manager Yin uploaded a lone video in the chat history.
The content of this video was also very simple. It was the content of Manager Yin's confrontation with Deng Xi at the Pantheon Conference. After Mo Shigui finished watching the entire video without saying a word …
"Did you publicize this scene online?"
Mo Shigui couldn't clearly hear what Deng Xi was saying because Deng Xi's voice was too hoarse. Fortunately, when talking to NPCs, there was a window that displayed their lines.
From the visual angle of the recording, it was like the opening of a main storyline CG, except that the protagonist of the CG was Manager Yin.
"Not yet. I only let the guild members and Sovereign Descent's Gentleman Qi see it. You've fought with this Boss called Deng Xi more than me.
Coach Song, "Manager Yin asked directly.
"From a Boss battle perspective, he's a very difficult Boss. If the final Boss of Blacktide Island is still him, it'll be a bit troublesome," Mo Shigui said.
"Didn't we kill this Boss once?
What's so troublesome about that? Why don't we just launch the Blacktide Island invasion expansion pack in half a month? "
Barking Mama expressed his opinion as a player. To Barking Mama, Deng Xi's CG was a preview of a new Instance Dungeon.
"Fighting Deng Xi again in the new patch?
I've had enough of being insta-killed by this guy. "Fluffy Rabbit also expressed some psychological trauma.
"But isn't it easy to beat a Boss that you've already fought once?"
The Clearers didn't feel any sense of danger because of Deng Heath's declaration of war. In their eyes, it was nothing more than an expansion pack for Deng Heath's arrival.
"I'm afraid I can't win."
Mo Shigui looked at Manager Yin's video again and said … something that dealt a blow to everyone's morale.
"Guild Leader, I know the developers might make Deng Heath as difficult as Thorne, but as long as it's not a Solo Dungeon …"
"We're not fighting a Dungeon."
Mo Shigui took a deep breath and told everyone in the Stronghold bad news. "I'm afraid the Blacktide Island invasion in half a month's time isn't a Dungeon, but a monster siege. All the Lord-tier monsters on Blacktide Island will come out in full force, and it'll be a monster siege."
The moment Mo Shigui's voice trailed off, the Clearers who were still arguing in the Stronghold fell into a strange silence.
They had been fighting on Blacktide Island for almost half a month, and all of them had personally experienced the strength of the Lord-tier monsters on Blacktide Island. Moreover, the number of Lord-tier monsters on Blacktide Island was on a completely different level from Brandt Island.
If there were 40,000 Spell Stealers on Blacktide Island according to the official data, then the number of Lord-tier dragons would be 100,000, and perhaps even 200,000.
So many Lord-tier dragons spawning on Brandt Island at once?
Is this not a monster torture?
"Sob sob sob … This is too scary. Is this even possible?" Fluffy Rabbit was already whimpering beside them.
"Have you forgotten about the monster attack that Silly Girl planned last time?
It was because of Silly Girl's request that the Abyssal Temple made, and in the end, the NPCs we recruited turned into wild monsters!
Motherf * cker! "
Lazy reminded everyone in the Core Room that the Holy Ghost's monster farming mechanism could not be measured with the logic of a conventional game.
"Then … what do we do when the Blacktide Island invasion version update comes in half a month?" The Clearers were confused.
To put it bluntly, they were just skilled players. If they were asked about the casting time of their skills, the attack movements of various monsters, and their mechanics, they might be able to grasp them with ease. But to deal with the monster siege that was about to happen, they could only wait for Mo Shigui's opinion.
"You guys get in touch with the new NPCs in the guild. I still need to discuss this with Mr. Yin." Mo Shigui knew that the monster siege this time was beyond his ability to handle.
After giving the order to disband the guild members, he went straight to the wooden table that Mr. Yin had set up.
"Coach Song, I didn't think that the bad situation I expected would happen so soon," Mr. Yin said.
"This is the second time I've played this game … something called a sense of crisis has appeared." Mo Shigui placed his hands on the wooden table, on which was a map of Blacktide Island.
This was not an ordinary map. It was a map of the Resurrection Point that he exchanged with the Planar Pirates. The map clearly showed the gathering situation of the creatures on Blacktide Island.
The ecology of Blacktide Island was not as rich and diverse as Brandt Island. The ecology of this island could be divided into the City of Pantheon, the City of Pirates, and the area occupied by the Spell Stealers.
This area was where a large number of Lord-tier dragons gathered. Just the glowing dots on the map gave Mo Shigui a headache.
"Sense of crisis?
How do you feel? "Mr. Yin asked.
"Tired."
Mo Shigui did not hide his true thoughts. "Playing Holy Ghost is supposed to be a relaxing activity after work, but this Blacktide Island Invasion expansion pack may have made me unable to sleep, but it's probably because I'm too excited to sleep … I just feel that clearing the ruins on Blacktide Island every day is missing something."
There was no shortage of players who loved challenges and were abused. No player could remain calm after watching Deng Xi's provocation. Mo Shigui's current thought was to place his Freya in a safe place, and then lead his comrades to tear down Blacktide Island.
"But we don't have enough manpower," Mr. Yin reminded.
"Not only do we not have enough manpower, but we also lack cohesion. Even if all the members in your branch are maxed out and have maxed out equipment, it's impossible to get them to stay online 24 hours a day to help you clear dungeons." Mo Shigui had been managing the guild for so many years, he was more familiar with the mentality of the players than Mr. Yin.
"If you really want to train the new members of your branch into a fighting force, you'll need some time. Besides, the world tournament is around the corner." Mo Shigui knew what Mr. Yin was planning to do next.
"Training and training new members don't conflict. Don't worry, I'll pay you overtime!" Mr. Yin said.
"What overtime pay is playing a game? It's fine as long as you don't deduct our wages."
It was rare for Mo Shigui to crack a joke, but when he was done, he reverted to his usual serious expression. Just as he was about to put the Blacktide Island raid on hold and focus on nurturing the newcomers, Lady Calamity stood before him.
"Holy Ghost, where's Sweeping Away Clouds?" Madam Calamity asked.
